I have gotten in much better shape over the last couple years, but I have a few pounds of belly fat I just can't seem to get rid of... How "easy" is a tummy tuck for a guy, is it noticeable after the fact, and how long is the recovery?

feel free to ask questions about any aspect of plastic surgery. In my practice I specialize in breast and body contouring surgery. I have both smart lipo and Vaser lipo technologies. The benefits of both of these are simpler surgeries and quicker recovery.

Hi Dr. Mancoll, my left eye is a little droopy because of a past eye surgery (lens removed about 20 years ago). Would this be an issue I could see a plastic surgeon for or would I need to see an ophthalmologist?

I had gastric bypass in 2010 and I am good with the weight I want to be at. However my stomach area still needs works with extra skin and donkey ears from a tummy tuck in 2001. What do you suggest and is this something BCBS federal insurance might pay for in your opinion?

Hi Dr Mancoll. I am 45 and have small howling started and a double chin (AHHHH!) and loose skin on my neck, which is more heredity than skin damage... What would you suggest? And what is the general cost for those procedures? Thank you!

I was told that the muscle in my abdomen need to be repaired and that liposuction will not help. I have an extended, very uncomfortable and embarrassing stomach. Is that something you can do with minimal downtown and invasiveness

Dr. Mancoll, My wife is in her late 50's. She works out at the Y three days a week, still 20 lbs over her goal weight, two kids and would like a tummy tuck. How do we convince the insurance company to help pay for the surgery? Is it considered surgery? Thank you.

I've done the Juviderm (spelling?) for the "smile lines"...but the wrinkles above my lip line (probably from smoking) are so bad...am 63. How much does a face lift, or what do they call it now..."Life...something"...cost? Ball park figure will do.

Hello Dr. Mancoll, I caught the last part of your segment and was curious about the non-invasive tummy tuck procedure. I do not have a severe case so I do think I could be a good candidate for this type of procedure. Also, I see your other response with a phone number and address so I will setup an appt. for consult. Thank you for your time today!

Hi All- Did you know that I also do SPIDER and VERICOSE Vein Treatements. I have the THERMAVEIN device in my office. It is less painful & more effective than injections for spider veins around the nose and cheeks. www.mancollplasticsurgery.com
